				683-4440 or on the web at <a href="http://www.ssat.org/ontario"
					target="_blank">www.ssat.org/ontario</a>.&nbsp; There are two

				<p class=prepskillsbody>The SSAT has a 25-minute writing sample
				section, a 40-minute reading comprehension multiple choice section,
				two 30-minute multiple choice sections in mathematics and one
				30-minute multiple choice section testing verbal ability. The
				writing section asks the student to respond to a topic statement,
				but is not graded. Instead, the student's essay is sent to schools
				along with his or her scores. The test sections break down as
				follows:</p>

				*Note: Educational Testing Service (ETS) may use the experimental
				section to try out new questions. Ontario SSAT tests usually do not
				contain an experimental section, however, be aware that it may
				exist. The experimental section may be math, reading comprehension,
				or verbal, and could appear anywhere during the test. Don't try to
				guess which section it is, and do your best on every section. If you
				encounter a section that seems difficult or seems different from the
				practice tests, don't panic - it might be the experimental section.
				<br>
				<br>
				The sections will not necessarily appear in the above order.&nbsp; <br>
				<br>
				The verbal section has 30 synonyms and 30 analogies.&nbsp; The
				quantitative sections test concepts from arithmetic, elementary
				algebra, and basic geometry.&nbsp; The reading comprehension section
				asks students to answer questions on 7-8 short passages of varying
				styles on a range of topics.


				<h2 class="title block-title pngfix"><a name="scored"></a>How
				is the SSAT scored?</h2>
				Lower Level test scores are reported for each subject on a scale of
				440 to 710. Upper Level scores are reported for each subject on a
				scale of 500 to 800. Before calculating your scaled score, the SSATB
				first calculates a raw score. The raw score is computed by adding up
				all of your correct answers and then subtracting 1/4 point for each
				wrong answer (blank answers have no effect on your score). The SSATB
				converts raw scores to scaled scores in order to adjust for small
				variations in difficulty among different test dates. The table below
				gives the 50th percentile score (the score at which an equal number
				of students scored higher and lower) for each subject and for each
				grade level. <br>

				<h1 CLASS=prepskillsorangetitle>UTS Admission Process</h1>
				<P class=prepskillsbody>The process of applying to UTS is
				unique. Students must first take the SSAT (Secondary School
				Admission Test). The application package along with the results of
				the SSAT determines which students go on to the second stage of the
				admission process. <br>
				<br>
				For grade 7, the second stage includes an interview and additional
				testing in English and mathematics. For grades 9 and 10, in addition
				to the recommendations provided with the application, students
				selected for an interview are required to bring sample, evaluated
				math and English work. <br>
				<br>
				The Cut Off Mark: <br>
				<br>
				Because the pool of applicants varies with each year, the cut-off
				score fluctuates. In the past four years, the low score has ranged
				between 1925 and 1950 for Grade 7. For grade 9, the low score has
				hovered around 2180 while at the grade 10 level it has been close to
				2100.
				<br/><br/>
				Visit www.utschools.ca for updates and details.
				<br/><br/>
				For further information regarding UTS admission procedures, visit UTS Admission website.

				PREPSKILLS HIGHLIGHTS:

				<b>Results: 1/3 of all UTS stage 2</b> students came through the PREPSKILLS® program. Congratulations to all who have been offered admissions.
				<b>3 out of 4</b> UTS John & Margaret Withrow Scholarship Recipients last year were PREPSKILLS<sup>®</sup> students!
				<br/><br/>
				<div class="usercomments">
					"What can I say - my wife and I are very pleased at the SSAT test results - 99th percentile! A special thanks to my son's teacher, for his effective and skilled 
					instruction. We think your course made a very tangible difference in the outcome. When we compared the actual SSAT results with my son's scores on your 
					diagnostic test, (written just ten weeks before) we could see the improvement... about a 75 total scaled points increase! For UTS Lower level testing, he 
					exceeded the cut-off scaled score for boys by 24 points and placed in the top ten boys accepted!"

				<b>Adam Lam</b> 
				<br/><br/>
				Hi, everybody! My name is Adam Lam. I am 12 years old, and a soon-to-be UTS student this fall. 
				<br/><br/>
				I would like to thank Prepskills for allowing me the opportunity to share with you on what I did to score in the 99th percentile, specifically 2,097 out of a 
				maximum of 2,130, of the SSAT Lower Level Test. 
				<br/><br/>
				This score subsequently paved the way for my successful admission into Grade 7 of UTS of the coming September.
				<br/><br/>
				Yes, I always wanted to get into UTS.
				<br/><br/>
				Why? Because as far as I am concerned, it is the best secondary school in Canada, and some people seem to agree.
				<br/><br/>
				Besides, I think it’s rather cool to hang out around Bay and Bloor near the UTS schoolyard during lunch hours.
				<br/><br/>
				To get accepted, I knew I had to get excellent marks in SSAT before UTS would even consider my application.
				I did some research last June to find out what I would have to do to get good SSAT marks – bearing in mind I only had less than 6 months before I would write 
				the real test in mid-November.
				<br/><br/>
				I found out a few things:
				<br/><br/>
				<ol>
					<li>The SSAT Lower Level Test is for students in Grade 5 to Grade 7. I would be 2 months into Grade 6 in mid-November when I would have 
					to write the SSAT test. That meant to score good marks, I would have to learn certain Grade 6 and Grade 7 stuff before the test. I took a quick look at some 
					SSAT sample test questions, and found that some topics, such as algebra, geometry, vocabularies, etc., were indeed new to me.</li>				
					<li>The SSAT Test would last for close to 3 hours. The longest test I had at school before was only 45 minutes. I wondered what I 
					had to do to get accustomed to staying focused for 3 hours.</li>				
					<li>Questions in this type of standardized test are riddled with tricks and traps. How could I get enough practice to avoid these 
					pitfalls?</li>				
					<li>Every year around 55,000 students in United States and Canada competing for seats of the best private schools write the SSAT Test. 
					Many of them prepare well in advance of time for the test. What would I have to do to be competitive?</li>				
					</ol>
				<br/><br/>
				It was easy for me to conclude that I needed heavy duty coaching, conditioning, and hard work to make the grade, and I needed them fast.
				<br/><br/>
				
				I did three things:
				<ol>
					<li>I took the Prepskills extended session preparatory course from the beginning of June to the end of October - with a 
					one-and-a-half month summer break in the middle. I liked this particular program because it was spread out over a few months so that I had plenty of 
					time to digest the materials. The 1 online and 2 sit-down simulation tests, all of which were three hours long, got me battle-tested. The excellent 
					program materials and teaching methods gave me a fair shake at tackling every question that could come up in the SSAT Test.</li>					
					<li>I bought the practice test books of SSAT Board and other publishers. Including the three 3-hour Prepskills tests and another 
					2 practice tests in the Prepskills workbook, I actually wrote 11 simulation tests before the real one.</li>					
					<li>I marked down the practice test questions that I did wrong, and repeatedly redid them until I got them right.
				</ol>
				
				I wrote the SSAT Test in November without a hitch. I knew I did well, but just didn’t know how well. I couldn't believe my eyes when I received my 99th 
				percentile SSAT score in the mail. I raised my hands in victory and jumped up and down for joy for the longest time.
				<br/><br/>
				The next step was to get beyond Stage 2 of the UTS Admission process, which included an interview and additional testing in math and English. I left
				 nothing to chance, and signed up for the Prepskills UTS Stage 2 Workshop. The Workshop prepared me well, and there were no surprises at all when I went through the actual UTS Stage 2 interview and testing.
				<br/><br/>
				Frankly I knew in my guts that I had made it even before I received the letter of acceptance from UTS. I am truly thankful that Prepskills helped me so
				 much along the way to make my dream of entering UTS a reality!  Thank you!

				<br>
				For students currently in Grade 4 applying for Grade 5 entry, this

				the private school admission process. Students will be taught
				test-taking strategies using a set of tests of reading, mathematics,

				measure achievement in the basic skills generally taught in schools
				across Canada. Emphasis is also placed on the personal interview and

				You receive one point for each correct answer. You do not lose any
				points for incorrect answers. You receive a raw score in four
				categories: verbal ability, quantitative ability, reading
				comprehension, and mathematics achievement. Quantitative ability
				measures your math<span style="text-decoration: underline;">
				reasoning</span> - in other words, how well you did on word problems,
				quantitative comparisons, etc. Math achievement measures your skills
				in computation, algebra, and geometry. You receive three scores for
				each section - a scaled score (ranging from 800-950), a percentile
				score, which tells you how your performance compared to that of
				other students in your grade, and a stanine score (1-9).</p>
				<p>Because each school has its own standards for admission, it
				is difficult to say what a "good" score is. When you visit a school
				for an interview, you should ask what that school's average or
				minimum score requirements are.</p>
				<p>The ISEE essay is not scored, but is sent directly the
				schools to which you apply for evaluation. No score is assigned to
				the essay, however, many schools consider your writing skills as a
				factor for admission, and may want to see how well you write under
				test conditions.</p>

				<p>Note to ISEE students: ISEE students should guess
				aggressively since there is no penalty for wrong answers on the
				ISEE.</p>

				<h1 CLASS=prepskillsorangetitle>History of SSAT Ontario</h1>
				<P class=prepskillsbody>Barbara Priscus, Former Vice-Principal,
				Academic of The Bishop Strachan School, introduced the SSAT to
				independent schools in Ontario. <br>
				<br>
				BSS was the first Ontario school to adopt the SSAT in the early
				80's. UCC joined later. Through the efforts of these two schools,
				combined with the personal efforts of David Mumby and Regan Kenyon
				at SSATB, most independent schools in Ontario eventually came to
				join the Ontario Consortium. <br>
				<br>
				Prior to the formation of the Consortium, parents were required to
				approach each of the schools to which they wished to apply in order
				to have their children write an in-house examination. This often
				meant that children would spend four to five consecutive weekends in
				test writing conditions in addition to the interviews that they had
				to undergo for each application. As a standardized examination, the
				SSAT has simplified this process in many ways. It is now used across
				Canada for entrance into independent schools. <br>
				<br>
				However, the SSAT is still only one component of the admissions
				process. Schools still review school grades, extracurricular
				engagements, leadership involvement, teacher recommendations, essays
				and interview results. SSAT scores, however, do carry significant
				weight, though the specific weighting associated with the exam
				varies from school to school. Consequently, students should prepare
				to perform as well as they possibly can in order to bolster their
				chances of admissions to all the schools to which they wish to
				apply. <br>
				<br>
				<h2 class="title block-title pngfix">TO PREPARE OR NOT TO
				PREPARE? THAT IS THE QUESTION...</h2>
				The SSAT measures a student's academic ability, as well as his or
				her ability to think logically and solve problems systematically. In
				terms of the admissions process, the exam provides schools with a
				common measure for evaluating student ability, regardless of
				experience or background. In our experience, the SSAT is also a
				gauge of how well students take standardized tests. The SSAT is NOT
				like a school test. Most students have not been exposed to writing a
				three hour multiple-choice exam with a timed essay and scoring
				penalties. Students who experience test-taking anxiety might face
				difficulties in managing their time, which inevitably results in
				scores that do not reflect their abilities. Thus, performing well on
				the SSAT is not necessarily a matter of intelligence; rather, it is
				a measure of how well-prepared a student is to <i>take a
				standardized test, demonstrate his or her abilities under time
				pressure, and score well</i>. Students should become familiar with the
				SSAT scoring rubric and structure as well as the test format well
				ahead of their test date. They should work on their test-taking
				skills by practicing with fundamental SSAT content while at the same
				time work to develop their admissions interview skills by practicing
				with mock questions. <br>
				<br>
				SSAT coaching can make a huge difference in a student's test score.
				With proper coaching, a student's sophistication in test taking can
				improve significantly in a relatively short period of time. As
				parents, it is important to ensure that our children feel
				comfortable with the admissions process and their transition to a
				new school. We need to encourage them to prepare for a final exam
				just as we encourage them to practice before a soccer tournament, a
				piano recital, or a speech contest. We know that our children rely
				on more than just books and manuals to learn how to play soccer,
				play the piano and deliver speeches. Shouldn't we provide them with
				more than just books and manuals to train for the SSAT as well? <br>
				<br>
				<p>PREPSKILLS<sup>®</sup> provides students with personalized
				teaching support to build confidence, practice test-taking skills,
				and alleviate test-related anxiety. PREPSKILLS<sup>®</sup> helps
				students achieve scores that demonstrate their abilities. We support
				students by ensuring that their "authentic" self shines through at
				the interview as well. At PREPSKILLS<sup>®</sup>, we have had the
				pleasure of working with thousands of families and supporting them
				throughout the admissions process. <br>
				<br>
				As Educators, we are passionately focused on helping students
				develop the skills they need to <i><b>translate preparation
				into opportunity<sup>TM</sup></b></i>....<i>one young mind at a time!</i> <br>

							<p>Directions:<br />
							Read the passage below carefully and answer the questions that
							follow. For each question, use the information provided in the
							passage to select the best possible answer.</p>
							<p>Example:</p>
							<p>It has long been known that Japanese people tend to live
							longer than most other people on Earth. One of the explanations
							for this is their diet. In Japan, staple dietary items include
							fish, rice and vegetables. Fish provides people with a regular
							source of protein. But unlike many red meats, it also has a low
							fat content. Rice and vegetables further add to the healthiness
							of the Japanese diet by providing nutrients and carbohydrates. In
							recent years, Japanese cuisine has become more popular in Europe
							and North America. Ten years ago, sushi restaurants were still a
							rarity in many European and American cities. Today, there are
							sushi restaurants in most communities in major cities such as
							London, Paris, Berlin, New York, Toronto and Montréal. Even in
							small cities, most Europeans and North Americans can now get
							their daily fill of healthy Japanese cuisine by visiting a local
							restaurant. Given that obesity and poor eating habits continue to
							be a problem in countries throughout Europe and North America,
							the introduction of Japanese cuisine can only be seen in a
							positive light.</p>

							<p>13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;According to the passage, Japanese
							cuisine<br />
							<input id="a" name="Question#13-answer=d" type="radio" value="a" />
							(A) is still unknown outside of Japan.<br />
							<input id="a" name="Question#13-answer=d" type="radio" value="b" />
							(B) is the reason Japanese people are unhealthy.<br />
							<input id="a" name="Question#13-answer=d" type="radio" value="c" />
							(C) is composed of red meats and fatty foods.<br />
							<input id="a" name="Question#13-answer=d" type="radio" value="d" />
							(D) has become more popular in Europe and North America in recent
							years.<br />
							<input id="a" name="Question#13-answer=d" type="radio" value="e" />
							(E) has replaced French food as the most preferred foreign
							cuisine.</p>
							<p>14.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;According to the author, the healthy
							combination of fish, rice and vegetables in a typical Japanese
							diet is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">most
							likely</span> the reason why<br />
							<input id="a" name="Question#14-answer=a" type="radio" value="a" />
							(A) people in Japan tend to live longer than people in most other
							countries.<br />
							<input id="a" name="Question#14-answer=a" type="radio" value="b" />
							(B) sushi is still disliked by many people who have an aversion
							to fish.<br />
							<input id="a" name="Question#14-answer=a" type="radio" value="c" />
							(C) hamburgers and French fries are no longer the most common

							(D) people travel to Japan.<br />

							(E) there is still a high rate of cancer in Japan.</p>

							<p>15.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The author of the passage would most
							likely <span style="text-decoration: underline;">disagree</span>
							with which of the following statements?<br />
							<input id="a" name="Question#15-answer=d" type="radio" value="a" />
							(A) The more people eat Japanese food, the healthier they will
							become.<br />
							<input id="a" name="Question#15-answer=d" type="radio" value="b" />
							(B) The introduction of Japanese cuisine to North America is a
							positive phenomenon.<br />
							<input id="a" name="Question#15-answer=d" type="radio" value="c" />
							(C) Fish, rice and vegetables constitute a salubrious diet.<br />
							<input id="a" name="Question#15-answer=d" type="radio" value="d" />
							(D) Japanese cuisine was very popular in Europe and North America
							thirty years ago.<br />
							<input id="a" name="Question#15-answer=d" type="radio" value="e" />
							(E) Europeans and North Americans can learn a great deal from the

							<p>Example:</p>
							<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Although it has become a
							common belief in the twenty-first century that science and
							religion are two separate fields of inquiry, the nineteenth
							century was full of examples of scientists who were explicitly
							religious in their scientific claims. In fact, many nineteenth
							century scientists were open about their religious beliefs and
							they hunted for the proof of God's existence in their theories.
							Things changed in dramatic ways in 1859, however, when the
							British explorer and scientist, Charles Darwin, published his
							book, The Origin of Species. Following the publication of that
							book, many scientists began to identify with secularism-i.e. the
							belief that religion should play no role in scientific
							investigations. The effects of Darwinism and the theory of
							evolution were widespread. Even today, many scientists identify
							with the secularism that Darwin's theories were seen to encourage
							because they believe religion should play no role in their
							scientific experiments. Science, they argue, should be neutral
							and unbiased.</p>

				Each year, more than 4,000 students in Canada and 50,000 across North America write the exam known as the SSAT (Secondary School 
				Admission Test). The SSAT is the required entrance exam to some of the finest secondary schools in the world, and a number of private 
				and independent schools use it as an integral part of their admissions evaluation.
				<br/>
				See below for answers to some of the frequently asked questions regarding the SSAT.
			
				
				<P class=prepskillsgreentitle>What is an entrance test?</P>
				Most independent and private schools require an entrance test. Exams vary and test results are weighted differently.
				 Standardized tests supposedly measure a student’s verbal and math ability. They are also supposed to predict how a student will perform in 
				 school. In our experience, the entrance exams are to some extent a measure of how well students take the test.
				
				<P class=prepskillsgreentitle>Why the SSAT?</P>
				Barbara Priscus, Former Vice-Principal, Academic of The Bishop Strachan School, introduced the SSAT to independent
				 schools in Ontario. Because of the wide variance of academic programs and standards among elementary and middle schools, it was 
				 problematic to compare academic ability based on grades and other independent performance measures. Prior to the formation of the 
				 Ontario SSAT Consortium, parents were required to approach each of the schools to which they wished to apply in order to have their 
				 children write an in-house examination. This often meant that children would spend four to five consecutive weekends in test writing 
				 conditions in addition to the interviews that they had to undergo for each application. As a standardized examination, the SSAT has 
				 simplified this process in many ways. It is now used across Canada for entrance into independent schools.

				<P class=prepskillsgreentitle>What is the Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT*)?</P>
				The SSAT* is used by many private schools as part of the admission process. It is a test that assesses the academic 
				abilities of the students. The student's math and language skills are evaluated.   The SSAT was developed and is administered by the SSAT Board 
				in Princeton, New Jersey.
				
				<P class=prepskillsgreentitle>How do I register for the SSAT?</P>
				To register for the official SSAT test please call (609) 683-4440 or visit <a href="www.ssat.org/ontario">
				www.ssat.org/ontario</a> or <a href="www.ssat.org">www.ssat.org</a> outside of Ontario. 
				<br/>
				Make sure to print off and keep the Admission Ticket that is obtainable only after SSAT has received and processed your registration 
				and payment. This ticket both serves as a confirmation for your test registration, and includes important details of your pending test: 
				date, location of scheduled test, specific instructions regarding taking the SSAT, list of schools/ consultants chosen to receive your 
				SSAT scores.
				

				<P class=prepskillsgreentitle>Do all Ontario private schools require the SSAT* entrance examination?</P>
				There are many private schools in Ontario that utilize the SSAT* for admission purposes. Other private schools 
				administer their own test. PREPSKILLS® can help your child prepare and benefit from the knowledge and strategies acquired to write any 
				test. Ontario Consortium schools use the SSAT* as a component of their admission and/or scholarship process. For a complete list of schools,
				 please refer to our SSAT* Information page on our website. Parents should confer with the schools of their choice to discuss the importance
				  and interpretation given to score results.

				<P class=prepskillsgreentitle>What is the format of the SSAT*?</P>
				There are two levels of the SSAT*. The Lower Level is for students in grades 5 through 7 while the Upper 
				Level applies to students in grades 8 through 11. Children are not expected to answer all questions, but to answer to the best of their 
				abilities. Some subject matter may not have yet been covered at their particular grade level. Please refer to the SSAT* Information page 
				on our web site for further information about the test or visit <a href="www.ssat.org/ontario">
				www.ssat.org/ontario</a> or <a href="www.ssat.org">www.ssat.org</a> outside of Ontario.

				<P class=prepskillsgreentitle>How is the SSAT* scored?</P>

				</ul>


				<P class=prepskillsgreentitle>When can the SSAT* be written? </P>
				The SSAT* is administered at various private schools throughout the GTA, beginning in September through to April. 
				Please visit <a href="www.ssat.org/ontario">www.ssat.org/ontario</a> for more test date information or call the school of your choice. Should you wish, tests are also 
				administered at independent test centres in Toronto. Visit our SSAT* Information page on our web site for information on test-taking 
				options at independent test centres.

				<P class=prepskillsgreentitle>How many times can I write the SSAT?</P>
				The Ontario Testing Consortium only allows students to register for only one SSAT test per academic year. Any subsequent attempts to write the exam will be considered invalid and will not be reported to schools.

				<P class=prepskillsgreentitle>What if my child is writing an admission test other than the SSAT*? </P>
